Cheryl Swope, M.Ed., author of Simply Classical: A Beautiful Education for Any Child (2nd edition, Memoria Press, 2019) and the award-winning Simply Classical Curriculum for Special Needs (Memoria Press, Voted #1 for Special Learners 2014, 2016, 2018, 2019). With a master’s degree in special education, Cheryl holds lifetime K-12 state teaching certifications in learning disabilities and behavior disorders. She has served in public and private schools, but learned the most humbling lessons homeschooling twins with special needs.

Missouri natives, Cheryl and her husband of nearly thirty years adopted boygirl twins and homeschooled the children from the twins’ infancy through high school graduation. Both twins have autism, learning disabilities, and severe mental illness (schizophrenia). Now young adults, their enduring love of literature, history, music, and Latin inspire Cheryl to share the hopeful message that a classical Christian education offers benefits to any child.
